They allowed Rachel to go in.

Darshan: Kya bola?

Rachel: Yes! (smiling with tears)

They get in, it's difficult as the theatre is huge and currently there's some electricity issue, so the lights are off.

Rachel: Flashlight on karo! (sobs)

Darshan: Naam leke bula, Shayad jaldi mil jaaye!

Rachel: Haa?? (sobs)

Darshan: Kya haa? Start calling out loudly!

Rachel: (takes a deep breath) Viru...Baby where are you? Viruu...!!!

Darshan: A bit louder...

Before Rachel could open her mouth, Virika's voice came.

Virika: Mumma...(soft voice with sobs)

Rachel: Yes baby, where are you? (she started moving the flashlight)

Darshan was shocked...Why is she calling her 'Mumma'?

Rachel: Call Manpreet from my phone and inform him that we found her! (softly)

Darshan: Ok!

Rachel stepped forward and followed the crying voice, Virika was sitting in a corner with her head on her knees and hands around her legs. Darshan was standing behind Rachel, with a blank expression.

Virika's Outfit

Rachel: (kneels down) Viru, Mumma aa gayi...Look at me! (softly)

Virika: Mumma...I love you! (wraps arms around Rachel's neck)

Rachel: Love you too baby...(picks her up)

Darshan was confused and shocked at the same time.

Virika: Mumma, Sowwy(Sorry) Next time mai aise nahi jaaungi...(hiding her face in Rachel's shoulder)

Rachel: Good girl! Promise me you won't run away from now, without informing anyone! (caressing Viru's hair)

Virika: Plomise...

Darshan: Will you explain? (raising an eyebrow)

Rachel: Let's go home first!

Darshan: Ok!

They complete the formalities and reached home. As they entered, Rachel and Jasmin went to lay Virika on the bed as she fell asleep on the way back, and Darshan saw a lot of pictures of Manpreet, Jasmin, Rachel and Viru. He found her a bit familiar, however he hasn't seen her face to face yet.
